We had great places in the train with a good view. But all the travellers were not sitting next to each other. But behind each other. What was a bit strange. The train stopped after an hour and was at a trainstation for 2,5 hour. So we had a huge delay. We arrived at Ella at 22.15 hour instead of 18.45 hour. So lots of time we were driving in the dark. That was a shame. But the part at daylight was very very beautifull. We could see in the frontlinie snd the windows next to the chairs could be opened. Als you could stay at the door to hang out of the train. Great experience with lots of beautiful nature around you and to see.
